Michelle $20 per hour for 1 child

I am an animal advocate and love them dearly. I am a special education teacher. I have my own animals and bring animals into my classroom and they are wonderful additions to my classroom and my students. I have rescued over 45 bunnies all different breeds and found them loving homes. I have personally fostered kittens, guinea pigs and bottle fed different types of birds. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds (parakeets, love birds, green cheek conures and cockatiels). When I was in high school I worked in an exotic pet store. I will treat your babies as I treat mine with love and care. I treat my animals as if they were my children. If you would like to schedule a meeting please contact me.[removed]. Please ask me any questions. I am also fingers printed. Thank you for reading my bio, Michelle

Hello, My name is Maggie and I’m excited to apply for the caregiver position. I bring with me a strong sense of responsibility, deep compassion, and a genuine love for helping others. I’ve always believed that caregiving is not just a job—it’s a commitment of the heart. I take pride in being reliable and trustworthy, showing up consistently for the people, children, pets or homes I care for, both emotionally and physically. Whether it's assisting with daily tasks, providing companionship, chasing a toddler or simply being a calming presence, I give my full attention and respect to the individual’s needs. My honesty and loyalty are values I live by. Families who have trusted me with their loved one, thier homes and or fur babies have always appreciated my open communication, integrity, and long-term dedication. each person, child, pet and home I care for as if they were my own family—with kindness, dignity, and love. Being a caregiver is more than a role to me—it’s a calling. And I am committed to making a positive, meaningful impact in the lives of those I serve. Thank you for considering me. I would be honored to bring my heart and skills into your home. Sincerely Maggie

Courtney 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old, caring for families with anywhere from one to four children ranging in age from newborns to 12 years old. I also have a one year old of my own and bring a strong educational background to my childcare experience. I’ve been a teacher for nine years with a focus in special education and have taught Kindergarten, 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. I’m very hands-on and love engaging kids in both indoor and outdoor activities, from creative crafts to active play. I’m also happy to help with homework, chores, and daily routines. I can prepare meals, tidy up, and ensure the kids stay on track while having fun. In addition to my love for working with children, I’m an animal lover who grew up with dogs and currently has a chocolate lab.

Absolutely wonderful! Courtney is engaged with my son the whole time she is here!
